    Xerox 700 streaking, banding, large area coverage and light color

    If I understood correctly, the 5000 developer housing unit can also be used in the 242, right ? Since the 5000 works in the 700, and the 242 works in the 700. Or am I missing something ?

    EPSON GS6000; Big issues

    The reason I am after retail customers, is that for production jobs, especially banners and vinyl the prices of other providers are around 5$ for a square metter. I can match that probably, but the thing is I don't want to print 10 square for 10 different customers, on different materials and...

    EPSON GS6000; Big issues

    Hello Potonka, May I ask what is your business model ? Production or retail ? or both ? We are trying to push for a retail model, so we keep margins a bit higher. The reason we are looking at the SC, is that ocasionally we could handle short term production jobs. Thanks.

    EPSON GS6000; Big issues

    Thank you for your response. We were looking at the GS for the color and quality. The prints looked stunning, we put images head on with the latex, and the HP didn't came close. Unfortunatelly the machine can only be found used now. If the colors look ok on the SC, not a lot worse than they do...

    Hello We are in the market for one of these. Actually we were. Initially the salesman offered a great deal for this machine, 15k $ with Caldera RIP , media starting kit and filled with ink, and replacements. After that, when we said yes, they said no machine available, as it is EOL. After...

    Xerox 700 for Photo Print

    we work on gsm. I think the correct term is not embossed rather than textured material. i will look more closely into this. I think it's a textured material that resembles canvas in it's texture.

    Xerox 700 for Photo Print

    Hmm... we were also looking at this market some months ago. We are also Xerox dealers by the way. I looked at the Ifolor study case Xerox offers. It is about the best thing you can do before starting. I haven't seen actual prints from Ifolor, but I saw a photo book from another provider. It...

    A big job is coming up ... need some assistance

    I saw this on heidelbergs website. The thing is I can't print them on my large format machine as it only does 914mm. I was interested of costs because maybe I could move my customer to a smaller format, maybe 90 x 140. So from what you say, there aren't many offsets doing this sizes. Tommorow...

    iGen 150

    @msaeger - from our experience, we are xerox reps, service and distribution, Xerox offers better support ( technically ) than other manufacturers. But this is based on our teritory. I can understand what you say about picky customers, but from our experience, this generally happens with lower...

    Starting a New Digital Printing Business

    There are oportunities still out there, as there is still a lot of printing being done. On the other side, starting from a garage with a small machine won't do it these days. On the one side if it's good quality, printing cost will make your prints expensive, if the costs are low it will...

    Cutter/slitter/creaser

    Yes it can, but from what we understand, it needs different set of cutters for each type of job. Therefore, yes, it is quite restrictive. But you will have to ask yourself what will you be using it for ? Other than 10 up type of work, business cards playing cards, maybe tickets, I don't see...

    Cutter/slitter/creaser

    Hi, We are also looking into automatic slitting creasing machines. We are looking into the Morgana CardXtra. Maybe it's not fast enough for you, but I think it is worth a look. It's also way cheaper than the Duplo, but you can buy more than 1 machine and still come out cheaper overall.

    I need some advice abou Black and white machine

    quick word of advice: If you're thinking of the 4112 or 127, get in touch with Xerox as soon as possible, and first ask them for a large discount since it's end of sale, and second go for the Copy Print Scan system, and add a free flow to it. Always get the Oversize high capacity feeder, avoid...

    Take 1000 euro and budget them for a visit at drupa. It's just around the corner. We are xerox dealers and we have stop order taking for 4112/27 therefore end of life. From a service point of view the machine if used wisely was an FSMA dream. Quite bullet proof and with a decent spectrum of...

    continues feed

    their biggest application will be newspapers, but it's a bit difficult to sell the service. Books will soon be printed on continuos feed only, but with newspapers it's a bit difficult to find a selling point against offset. Nobody thought offset would be replaced for books, but it has, not on...

    Offset paper on an Igen3

    The ideea is to offer alternatives to customers. If I stick to 100% digital applications I will never increase my volumes. If a customer wants a large volume and a great price, the offset will still kick my behind any day. That's why I have to offer them something else.

    Offset paper on an Igen3

    I've checked briefly Xerox's list for accepted media and now I'm backing out a bit. We are trying to prepare landing an Igen3 in our yard, and now it's checking for paper compatibility. There is a lot to be won in short runs if they're offsetish . By this I mean price offsetish. So we want to...
